April is National Credit Union Youth Month, which makes it a great time to help your child start building smart money habits with a little extra encouragement from People Driven Credit Union.
For a limited time during the month of April, when you open a new Youth Account for your child and make an opening deposit of $25 or more, PDCU will add a $25 Youth CD. It is a simple way to get started and give your child an early savings boost.

Why Open a Youth Account?
A Youth Account can be a great first step in teaching kids and teens how to save, spend carefully, and understand the value of money. PDCU Youth Accounts are designed for ages 0 through 17 and include both a checking and savings account, giving families a practical way to introduce real-world money lessons.
Parents, grandparents, and legal guardians can open and manage the account as joint account holders. That means you can help guide your child while still giving them age-appropriate opportunities to learn and grow. From using a debit card to setting spending alerts and building a savings habit, a Youth Account can help turn everyday moments into learning opportunities.

More Than an Account, It Is a Learning Tool
Opening a Youth Account is about more than just putting money in a bank. It is about helping your child understand how to save toward a goal, think before spending, and gain confidence with money over time. For younger kids, that might mean watching savings grow. For teens, it could mean learning to manage a debit card, check balances, or stick to a budget.
Small lessons now can make a big difference later. National Credit Union Youth Month Established in 1939, by the National Legionnaire announced that April had become designated as “American Legion” Child Welfare Month and called upon posts to report their activities throughout the nation and serves as a good reminder that every smart habit has to start somewhere.
